New Year's day forgives the old,
marks new dawn of future.
Those who may be at odds,
with another family member,
now is the time to reconcile.
Be the first to take first step,
make a resolution:
Resolve first to be the first,
the first to say, “I’m Sorry!”

For the sin at
odds, a sacrifice,
paid by the blood of Christ.
God forgave that we forgive,
to help each other to the prize.
Offence we feel a little hurt,
but may our souls subvert.
We have no right to withhold,
forgiveness that we’re given.
Christ first had forgiven us,
before our sinned offence.
